ART NOTES.

p. Lund, the well-knOwn local artist,
has collection of his paintings on eX-
hibition at 40 NicOllet avenue. 1t i'll
cludes 1.-The Coast of Heligoland," the
picture that was awarded the gold medal
at the state fair, and many other gems
from his facile brush. One picture of
his is especially liked and admired by
professional painters who have seen it.
1t is entitled misty Morning." and is a
piece of landscape that might be in the
west of Ireland, the north of Scotland
or moOrland in Scandinavia some
where or other. 1t is very true to nature
very natural and expressive of a
damp, drizzly morning, and here
in lies the true excellence
of Lund's work. These pictures, twenty
one i'll number, are for sale, and
it is not too much to say they should be
purchased here in the city, not because
but what is really the fact-because he
is a first-rate artist, and should there
fore be appreciated. Coast scenery
seems to be his main forte.
L. W. Moran, an artist who has but
lately come to the city, has executed a
first-rate picture of Charles NJ. Palmer,
the popular manager of the exposition.
That gentleman's pose is an easy one,
sitting in an easy chair, the expression
of the face being very good AID the
whole canvas "a fine instance f the
portrait painters art Mr.. Moran
comes from st. Catherine, Canada, his
native home. He has been, however, a
great traveller, and studied good dead
in Paris, where, in fact, he mainly re-
ceived his instruction at the famous
school of art, Ecole Rationale ct Speciale
des Beaux Arts, his master having been
Jean Leon GerOme. He intends to set
tie here permanently, being enthusiast
tic over Minneapolis.

ALL SORTS.

Those eminent financiers, Col. S. S.
KilvingtOn and Maj. c. A. Cornman, are
quarreling over the division of the re-
ceipts for the registration of the births
and deaths.
The Tribune is again guilty of roasting
IN one department the work of another
department. Would it seem hypercrit-
zeal to suggest that the paper mentioned
should get managing editor?
No wonder that Kansas City claims a
larger population than Minneapolis. A
number of witnesses for the prosecu-
ton in the Barrett murder case have
identified themselves with the business
interests of that thriving winter resort.
The secondhand edition of 1.-THE
Judge" was stale upon the market yes
terday at 8 cents per copy, while the
Christmas GLOBES sold like hot cakes.
The National Opera company didn't
''bust'. in Minneapolis after all. This
untOward and not desired event has
been shifted upon the next town.

A JURYMAN'S CHRISTMAS.

The twelve good men and true who
hold the fate of the Barrett gang in the
hollow of their hands put in their
Christmas day at the National hotel, and
although it was somewhat mOnotOnOus,
they did not fare quite as badly as they
expected. Under the charge of Deputy
Sheriff Fritz Maurer they took walk
as far as Tenth and Hennepin avenue
in the afternoon. Returning they
did ample justice to the elegant Yule-
tide menu served by the house, and
passed the evening away in social
style, playing cards. checkers and smOk-
ing. 4 few of the jurymen were Wis
tied by their relatives. Mrs. POwells
visited her husband and came loaded
with good things. Captain Houston re-
celved a call from his son in the morn
ing and the children of NJ. c. Barr made
their appearance and held converse
with their father under the scrutiny of
the lynX-eyed deputy sheriff.

in link. when the pig is raised by a
lever, and the wheel is placed in SIN
gle overhead track.
On this track the animal to be killed
is pushed along until he comes to the
"st.cser," whose keen. long knife and
precision of thrust soon ends its misery.
Another lever then unh0OkS the chain,
and piggy drops through trap into the
caldron of scalding water, where he re-
mains just long enough to soften the
tough hide that surrounds his briStling
coat. From the scalder he is transferred
to the scraper, which is the special feat
ure of the establishment. 1t is Phila-
delphia patent, and can scrape twenty
seven per minute SO clean that it is im
possible to find more than small palm
full of hair after the pig has been put
through it. But the best machine will
the skin. Hence the next destination
of Sir Pork is the shaver's table, where
he lies and has the few remaining
hairs deftly scraped from his body. At
the same time the legs are cut in such
way as to enable the hog to
hang by his sinews from the wooden
gambrelS that are balanced on a
wheel, which also runs on an overhead
single track. This overhead track sys-
tenn is an adaptation of the method en-
ployed in rolling mills, and it was first
used in slaughter houses in this city,
where it has now been a part of every
large establishment for the last thirty
years. Its advantages lie in the fact that
the reduction of friction makes it posi-
BILE to manage otherwise unwieldy
weights with comparatively small expen-
diture of strength. 1t has been brought
to such pitch of perfection that half
grown boy can easily transfer the larg-
est hog from one part of the building to
another, and the system of switches, eX-
ceedingly simple in construction, makes
it possible to alter the destination with
little or no effort.
After the pig has been put on the
gambrelS, he next comes into the ''gut-
terS' hands, and the skill of these men
is astonishing. A good 'gutter" can
easily clean three pigs per minute.
When cleaned the pig is pushed until
he reaches point of the track that is
connected with pair of scales that are
balanced with reference to the weight
of the gambrel, and here his exact
weight is taken and registered.
From the scales he is sent down the
track and either switched off to the big
refrigerators, where the pigs that are
not for immediate shipment are stored,
or else they are hung in long rows be-
tween the rafterS until the wagons
arrive that deliver them to the railway
depOtS or butcher shops of the city.
